Abstract: | The authors consider the results of study of the phenomenon of mismatch negativity (MMN) during exposure to acoustic stimuli simulating fused auditory images with different spatial localization: along the head midline (a standard stimulus used in all series), near either of the ears (lateralized), and moving from the midline to or from an ear. All deviant stimuli evoked the mismatch negativity; the minimum MMN amplitude with the longest latency was observed when the stimulus simulated motion of the auditory image from the midline to either ear. When the deviant auditory images were localized on the left of the midline, the contralateral MMN dominance was more pronounced and responses to various deviant stimuli differed more than when the images were localized on the right. The mismatch negativity as a criterion of discrimination accuracy for signals with different localization features is discussed. |
